Chapter 9 Gossip

"How did you— "

"Oh... darling... I know everything." The corners of Li Yue’s lips lifted up to form a smirk before she walked past her, making sure to bump her shoulders into hers just to make the scene more dramatic. She continued walking.

This Li Yue knows a lot of secrets in this school. Secrets of the rich, professors and even the principal’s were all within her grasp. This is because the true Li Yue extremely loves... gossip. Aside from collecting expensive bags and shoes, secrets were also amongst her collections as Li Yue simply loves to gossip with her socialite friends. She would even go as far as paying someone to spy on people in the university.

Beaming, Li Yue walked out of the university without anyone else blocking her way. Right now, her extremely deep knowledge of things that could embarrass her enemies was the only thing she could use against them. Now that Li Yue thought about it, she is very talented in gossiping, she should just become a private investigator! This should earn her more money than being an artist!

’Remember the mission’

’Yes ma’am,’ she answered inwardly. The mission she was tasked with was not really on earning money, so she should just concentrate on realistic goals instead of thinking about farfetched ones. Li Yue is not about to become the most talented female in this world and earn the jealousy of the female lead in the process. She shivered inwardly. She really needed to move away from this place as soon as she graduates and let the female lead bloom into a beautiful flower before coming back.

"I saw what you did back there."

Li Yue almost jumped. She glared at the figure coming out from the corner of the building. The man was wearing the same blue and white uniform hidden beneath a black hooded jacket. "Mo Li? How come you are here?" The path she was taking is a shortcut that leads to the Ramen House. Hence, it was not very popular amongst those who are not locals of Yin City.

"Ramen." He answered as he walked next to her. "So... seems like you’re pretty famous?"

She chuckled. "Not as famous as you are." She was only famous because of her difficult nature and mean attitude. Was that really something to be proud of? She shrugged and held her coat closer. The two continued to walk in silence. When they arrived at the Ramen House, Mo Li immediately asked her to order for him. Of course, she immediately took this opportunity to have him pay for her order.

She might not be a beggar, but she is in a saving mood. Studying abroad is not an easy thing to do for someone alone like herself, ah.

"So... are you some sort of abandoned child?" Mo Li asked after they had their orders taken.

"Why do you ask?"

"Just making sure you’re not the daughter of some mafia boss."

"Oh... "she nodded and started eyeing the people in the Ramen House while they were preparing her orders. "Switched at birth." She added.

He nodded and the conversation ended with another awkward silence. After a few minutes, their ramen was served and both took the time to eat in silence before leaving the place together.

"Aren’t you afraid of being seen together with someone like me?" she asked. This man had fans— millions of them. Them being seen together only spells trouble for her.

"My father took care of the security."

"Oh!" As expected of a top class villain. Sooner or later, this man will rule the underworld with his handsome face and iron fists. "Then... all is well. Before I forget..." she held up two fingers as she gave him a sweet smile. "You still owe me twenty thousand."

"Is money that important to you?"

"Didn’t you hear? I’m no longer a rich heiress." She countered. "I was lucky my tuition had already been covered. College is expensive, ah." The man glared at her for a few seconds before he opened his phone.

"Done." He said.

"Great!" Beaming, she started skipping towards their room. Of course, she did not miss the sharp glares of the people that recognized her and Mo Li. However, in this academy, a person like Mo Li is not rare. In fact, this school is one of the highest ranked schools where only families belonging to the elite echelons could send their kids. Politicians, actors, foreign students and even teen stars and starlit geniuses are everywhere.

Of course, the previous queen bee being seen together with the new student was quite the peculiar sight. She was sure that this news would have had already reached the ears of the Li Family or even the Xia Family.

"Miss Li," Li Yue halted her steps and stared at the beautiful Li Weiwei who was waiting for her outside of the pilot sections room.

"Do you need something from me?" Her direct question obviously surprised the female lead.

"I— I hope... I hope I am not disturbing you." Li Weiwei eyed Mo Li who was standing behind Li Yue. "I just— I just want to talk to you, in private."

"Oh." She nodded and turned towards Mo Li. Without saying anything, the latter walked past them and went inside their lecture room. "What do you want to talk about?" Based on the unreliable robot’s information, this Li Weiwei is a kind woman with flaws.

’I heard that’

Li Yue nonchalantly ignored the robotic voice’s words as she wondered what flaws might the female lead had. At five foot six, the female lead is obviously taller than her. With her jade like skin and innocent face, the female lead is truly a beauty! She is even more beautiful than the top actress in Yin City! Could it be that her flaw is that she is too beautiful?

Li Yue chuckled at her own thoughts.

"I— I just want to apologize for the inconvenience that I have caused you." Li Weiwei’s low bow coupled by her weird words caught her by surprise. What inconvenience might she be referring to? "Please... forgive me!" Li Weiwei’s voice was enough to attract the attention of the people nearby.

’She is scheming’

’I know! Stop disturbing me!’ she immediately countered. This robot is really weird, ah. ’You just said I’m on my own! Why are you helping me now?’ freewe bnovel.com

Silence. Just what did Li Yue expect? The robotic voice had always left her hanging.

"Please... accept my apology." Li Weiwei repeated.

"Oi, Weiwei... why are you apologizing to that woman?" A voice echoed. "You didn’t do anything wrong, ah. Stop bowing down to her, she doesn’t deserve it."

For a few seconds, Li Yue really held back from laughing at the display in front of her. Is this some sort of a play for her entertainment? "Excuse me... Miss... I don’t think we have ever met before. Do I know you from somewhere?" she asked, innocence apparent on her face. "I think... I think you’ve got the wrong person."
